About Scholars' Home

Twenty-seven years of
one conviction

Founded in April 1999 with ninety-six children, Scholars' Home grew into the best school in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow by holding to a single belief — that every child is blessed with a unique set of talents, waiting to be nurtured.

Our Story

From 96 students to the front rank of Lucknow schools

Scholars’ Home began its academic journey in April 1999, guided by an educational society of professionals and educationists who believed Gomti Nagar deserved a school that took both academics and character to heart. The early years built the foundations — English-medium ICSE education, play-way learning for the youngest, and a gentle conviction that success even in small things is a great tool for building a child’s self-esteem.

Today the school teaches Playgroup to Class XII on a 2-acre campus with 1,09,000 sq ft of built-up space — five science laboratories, a Robotics & AI Lab, a 500-seat auditorium and three playgrounds. The ranking plaques followed: #1 ICSE school in Lucknow for seven consecutive years, and #1 in Uttar Pradesh for holistic development four years running.

What has not changed is the scale of attention. Sections are still capped at 35 students. Teachers — 46 of our 51 are postgraduates — still know every child by name. And the school still measures itself the way it did in 1999: not by how many students it enrols, but by what each one becomes. That is what “The Complete School” has meant in Gomti Nagar for twenty-seven years.

From the Director's Desk

As a part of the scholastic fraternity, I believe that educators are the lamps of wisdom illuminating raw minds to venture into the path of success. We at Scholars' Home work with the vision of creating future generations who may contribute qualitatively towards nation-building. We firmly believe in moulding children into skilled, compassionate and responsible world citizens, embedded with Indian mind, values and culture.

Success even in small things is a great tool for developing self-esteem. With this belief, we encourage children to achieve a task without much assistance, so that they experience the joy of self-accomplishment from an early stage. Since inception, our underlying goal has been to make Scholars' Home a happy school — where teaching is a pleasure, learning is fun and achievement is a passion. We create a positive space where students have freedom of expression and the confidence to question freely.

Education should not be confined within the four walls of the classroom. Our strength lies in our teachers — passionate, committed and trained to reach the most average student with care and patience. They understand that each child is physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually unique, and they work relentlessly to identify every child's areas of interest and enhance their skills, making learning enjoyable and rewarding.

The school administration makes the utmost effort to provide the best infrastructure and facilities in Lucknow, keeping pace with changing trends in education. While adopting the latest technologies and teaching methods, we invest equally in training our teachers to hone their craft.

Our accomplishments — the awards, the rankings, the results — exemplify the success of our educational model and the faith parents place in this institution. With open hearts, we warmly invite you to explore Scholars' Home as we renew our commitment to imparting the best education in Gomti Nagar.

Looking Ahead

Before I joined Scholars' Home, I worked with data — as a data scientist at Dell, after a B.Tech in Information Technology from Manipal and an MBA from IIM Kozhikode. What brought me to school education is simple: few years shape a person as much as the ones between Playgroup and Class XII, and schools today have tools my generation never had to make those years richer.

My work here is about transformation without losing what makes this school what it is. The foundations are strong — educationists who have given their lives to this work, teachers who have been with us for years, small sections and a clear academic plan for every class. What we are adding is a sharper way of running the school and a more modern way of learning.

Artificial intelligence is the biggest change in learning in our lifetime, and I would rather our students learn to use it well than read about it later. Our Robotics & AI Lab, AI-assisted learning applications and free IBM certification courses give children hands-on experience with it, and behind the scenes we are learning to use data the way good organisations do — to notice early when a child needs help and to plan teaching better.

We also want our children to be at ease anywhere in the world. The ICSE and ISC certificates are recognised by universities in India and abroad, and alongside the curriculum we are opening more windows to global ideas and ways of thinking, so that a child from Gomti Nagar can hold their own wherever life takes them.

And because children learn as much with their hands and feet as with their books, we are setting up dedicated activity areas on campus, so that sport, art, music, robotics and making things each have a proper home. The best way to judge any of this is to see it — come and walk through the school on a working day.

From the Principal's Desk

Scholars' Home is a respected name in education owing to its academically excellent reputation. Excellence in education and fostering the love of learning have always remained the hallmark of this school. The real learning takes place inside our four walls — where relationships are built, perspectives gained, insights garnered, positive experiences accumulated, confidence developed, and skills learnt and nurtured daily.

While we passionately pursue the vision the school was founded on, we keep pace with modern times. Instead of promoting rote learning through bookish knowledge, we are moving towards an education built on children's skills — critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication — and traits of character, so that our students carry the competencies a changing world demands.

The school provides best-in-class infrastructure to help students excel: spacious, airy classrooms, well-equipped modern science laboratories, a well-stocked library, smart classrooms with audio-visual aids, state-of-the-art computer laboratories, separate music and dance rooms, and a lush green campus with a huge playground.

Beyond academics, our students make their mark in music, dance, judo, gymnastics, skating, aerobics and more. The school is counted among the best schools of Uttar Pradesh, delivering excellent ICSE and ISC board results year after year. Our alumni — admitted to prestigious universities in the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, Italy and India — testify to the strength of the education imparted here.

The overall emphasis at Scholars' Home is on making every child excel. If you are looking for an all-round education for your child, come and visit us — for every child has a unique success story.
